Do you still have the activation number of your original CD?

If so, contact Microsoft, explain the problem and they will probably send you a replacement CD or download an iso.

Other than that, you're stuffed, you will have to buy a new copy of XP.

And not lose it, of course :)

No, it wouldn't be. No, it wouldn't be.

You can either attempt a repair with the mbr command (see the MS site) or opt for a clean install.

I refer, m'lud, to my previous post.
